Louisiana Man Pleads Guilty to Charges in Connection with Interstate Transmission of a Threat to Injure Florida Congresswoman
Louisiana – A Louisiana man has pleaded guilty to charges in connection with interstate transmission of a threat to injure a Florida congresswoman.
On March 20, 2023, United States Attorney Ronald C. Gathe, Jr. announced that Charles T. Germany, age 52, of Walker, Louisiana, pled guilty before Chief Judge Shelly D. Dick to interstate transmission of a threat to injure another.
According to admissions made during his plea, Germany deliberately placed a phone call from his home in Walker, Louisiana, to a member of the House of Representatives in Florida on or about May 27, 2022, in the Middle District of Louisiana, including a real threat to injure said member. During the call, he left a recorded voice message, which the member and their staff interpreted as a genuine threat.
Gathe faces a fine, a prison sentence up to five years, or both.
The United States Capitol Police, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Livingston Parish Sheriff’s Office investigated the case, which was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Jennifer M. Kleinpeter with assistance from Trial Attorney Kevin Nunnally of the Department of Justice’s Counterterrorism Section.
